I have a database in .sql format, while restore the database to localhost all tables have unknown data. how can i delete all tables data before or after import.
i am using windows 7. mysql server 5.5
phpmyadmin has an option for this task.
Select the database, you wish to export with empty tables
Click on Export
Select Custom in Export Method
Scroll down to Format-specfic options
Select Structure instead of Structure and data
Click on Go
That's all there is to it.
You could use this query to export database with no data:
mysqldump -u[USERNAME] -p[PASSWORD] --add-drop-table --no-data [DATABASE]
You can also look at other options [here.]1
if you have access to PhpMyAdmin http://localhost/phpmyadmin/ on your localhost simply login and drop the tables in the database you wish to import SQL dumps.
Then import the SQL dump file (.sql)

i am a mysql 5.6 user, trying to import three databases that exist in a single dump file. I have tried mysqldump -u root -p --all-databases > C:/Users/shiro/Downloads/SCH/SCH-26092022_1050.sql; on windows powershell which did not import anything, mysql> source C:/Users/shiro/Downloads/SCH/SCH-26092022_1050.sql; on the msql which required me to specify a database and using the import data on workbench which only dumps data for one db. Any advise or recommendations on what i can do will be appreciated. Thanks
I have dumped a MySQL database (all tables) for use with PHPUnit using this command:
mysqldump --xml -t -u [username] --password=[password] [database] > /path/to/file.xml
I need to modify the test data, so I need to re-import it back into the database so I can work on it with MySQL workbench.
What is the command to reimport it back into a specified database?
And no, it's not as simple as LOAD XML, that works on a table by table basis, but this export has all tables in it.
NO, there is no built in way present to restore a XML formatted dump file. You can check this blog Restoring XML-formatted MySQL dumps for information on this as well as this existing post How to restore a mysql xml database file from mysql command line?
I am exporting database from PHPMYADMIN. Database has 341 tables on remote server but when I import Sql file into local server PHPMYADMIN I got only 213 Tables.
Question :
How can I get all tables of database on localhost.
phpmyadmin should export all when you do export -> quick, but try to use the custom option and make sure all are selected. Also, may want to check the mysql mode (select ##global.sql_mode) of local and remote. If your local has default settings, there may be some tables with data in a column that's not allowed.
Assuming that your database is pretty large then you may have more success with exporting it via the command line rather than phpMyAdmin:
/usr/bin/mysqldump -u USERANME -p DATABASE_NAME > output.sql
Run that, you'll be prompted for your database password and then you'll get output.sql containing your database
You can then import this using ..
/usr/bin/mysql -u USERNAME -p DATABASE_NAME --no-create-db < output.sql
i have a .sql file that was exported from wamp, my friend only uses xampp. Is it possible to import my .sql file to xampp?
Yes because the .sql file is most likely independent of the server stack.
Of course it is possible, when wamp give you a export of .sql, this file can be used with all standard web server. (xampp)
I think this may help
Depending on the tool and parameters used to create the .sql dump file of multiple databases, the file will normally have
CREATE DATABASE DBn...;
and
USE DBn;
statements that will allow your import to proceed without hiccups. For example, both the mysqldump command mysqldump command and phpMyAdmin's Export function for multiple database insert them.
Assuming you have exported with a sensible tool like those above, then you can import the database with a command line like this:
mysql -u username -p < dumpfile.sql
Your mysql username account needs to have appropriate privileges to, for example, create databases.
You can even run this command in a more familiar way by naming the startingDB database to use before running the commands in dumpfile.sql:
mysql -u username -p startingDB < dumpfile.sql
From the command line, how do I export all table structure in a mysql database and import into another. I dont need the table...just to create new tables in a new database.
mysqldump with the no-data option should do what you want.
mysqldump --no-data
